List of Old Covenant saints in the Roman Martyrology

The Roman Martyrology, which is a non-exhaustive list of saints venerated by the Catholic Church, includes the following feast days^[1] for saints who died before Pentecost, and therefore are considered saints of the Old Covenant.^[2] Unlike modern saints, these Biblical figures did not go through any formal process of canonization.^[3]
